Mark Dekanich has reportedly signed with Medvescak of the KHL.

He appeared in 35 games with the St. John's IceCaps of the AHL this past season, where he compiled a 16-14-1 record to go with a 2.98 goals-against average and an .895 save percentage. Mon, May 20, 2013 09:19:00 AM

Going into the 2011-12 campaign Dekanich was regarded as an interesting sleeper candidate and a potential starting goaltender in the NHL. Unfortunately injuries cost him his big shot and at the age of 26, it's not clear if he'll get another golden opportunity. Sat, Jan 26, 2013 12:35:00 PM

Dekanich has a 2.80 GAA and .904 save percentage in 16 AHL games, but it wasn't too long ago that he was regarded as a very promising prospect. At the same time, the Jets already have their goaltending situation firmed up with Ondrej Pavelec and Al Montoya. Fri, Jan 25, 2013 12:29:00 PM

Jets' prospect Mark Dekanich is really struggling this season in the AHL.

He has a 5-6 record with an .894 save percentage for St. John's. Dekanich has been sitting quite a bit lately in favour of Eddie Pasquele. He will have to do better if he is to beat out Al Montoya for a backup spot in Winnipeg behind starter Ondrej Pavelec. Sun, Dec 16, 2012 09:51:00 AM

Depth Charts

Mark Scheifele (upper body) will suit up in Sunday's game against the Dallas Stars.

The injury prevented him from playing in each of his team's last five contests. The 25-year-old has 21 goals and 51 points in 50 games this season. He needs to be inserted in all fantasy lineups right away.

Nikolaj Ehlers tallied his 27th goal of the season Monday in a 3-2 overtime loss to Washington.

Ehlers tied the game at 1-1 shortly after the Capitals opened the scoring in the first period. He has made his way onto the scoresheet in seven of the last nine games, while recording four goals and seven assists over that span.

With that, Connor has reached the 25-goal milestone in his first full NHL campaign. Jack Roslovic and Bryan Little each scored a goal and registered an assist for Winnipeg. Paul Stastny and Joel Armia netted the Jets' other two goals. Jacob Trouba registered a pair of assists in his return from a lower-body injury.

Mathieu Perreault notched a goal and two assists to lead the Jets to a big win over Florida.

Perreault's three points helped Winnipeg blowout Florida by a score of 7-2. The 30-year-old now has 16 goals and 37 points through 47 games this season. Blake Wheeler and Tyler Myers recorded three assists apiece in Sunday's win.

His shorthanded goal gave the Jets a 3-0 lead in their game against the Colorado Avalanche (they ended up winning 6-1). Copp's last goal came on Dec. 9, so it had been a while since he found the back of the net. He has five goals and 17 points in 58 games this season.

Shawn Matthias will be a healthy scratch tonight against the Nashville Predators.

Matthias was just activated off of the injured reserve but head coach Paul Maurice said he wants to get his veteran forward a few contact practices before putting him back into the lineup. Shawn Matthias (upper body), Jacob Trouba (lower body), Adam Lowry (upper body), Steve Mason (lower body), Mark Scheifele (upper body), Dmitry Kulikov (lower body) and Toby Enstrom (undisclosed) will also be out.

Brandon Tanev will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the New York Rangers.

Tanev hasn't played since Feb. 3 because he's been injured and a healthy scratch for different stretches. He has four goals and 12 points in 46 games this season. Marko Dano will also watch the game from the press box.

Blake Wheeler notched a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Dallas on Sunday.

Wheeler leads the NHL with 61 assists and has a career-high 80 points this season. He has topped 70 points in each of the last two years, but he has found another gear this season despite a drop in goals (19 in 72 games).

Patrik Laine scored another pair of goals in Sunday's victory over Dallas.

Laine is white hot and he's riding a 15-game point streak, which the longest ever for a teenager and the longest active scoring spree in the NHL. He is tied with Alex Ovechkin for the league lead with 43 goals and has 68 points in 72 games this season.

Byfuglien's goal at the 6:25 mark of the second period gave the Jets a 3-1 lead at the time. The 32-year-old has five goals and 35 points in 52 games this season. He has accumulated 12 points in his last eight games.

Jacob Trouba has been in concussion protocol since he was steamrolled by Dallas' Jamie Benn on Sunday, but a diagnosis has not been made yet.

Coach Paul Maurice said Trouba "came in feeling good" on Monday, but he still needs to see a few specialists. He was visibly rocked after he tried to stand up Benn at the blueline and struggled to get off the ice.

Enstrom had missed the last four Winnipeg games with the injury. While he had been a high-scoring defenseman earlier in his career, with a goal and six points in 41 games, Enstrom's value is zero in fantasy.

Joe Morrow will be a healthy scratch in Thursday's game against the New Jersey Devils.

The 25-year-old will sit for the first time since being acquired from Montreal on trade deadline day. He has five goals, 13 points and a minus-7 rating in 42 games this season. Marko Dano will also watch the game from the press box.

The Winnipeg Jets are expected to scratch defenseman Ben Chiarot against the Calgary Flames this afternoon.

Chiarot has four points in 24 games this season and will be scratched for the fifth straight game. Adam Lowry (upper body), Mark Scheifele (upper body), Shawn Matthias (upper body) and Steve Mason (concussion) will miss the game due to their respective injuries.

Melchiori has yet to appear in a game this season, and will be a healthy scratch for the 10th straight game. He will be joined in the press box by Tucker Poolman and Jack Roslovic. Toby Enstrom, (lower body), Mark Scheifele (upper body) and Brandon Tanev (lower body) will also miss the game.

Connor Hellebuyck didn't participate in Monday's optional skate and the Jets don't play again until Friday, so a night off Tuesday would give him plenty of rest. Comrie has played in two games with Winnipeg in his career, including one start back in December this season.
